I found this in Annie's water today. Is it worms? If it is how can i get rid of them with out going to the vet. I do not know what to do or were they came from. Any info would be great.

Yes those are worms, Yes they can hurt her. Get that snake to a Vet yesterday. Hopefully he/she can help your snake out.

Just kidding. The flat ribbon appearance is typical of tapeworms. They are very easy to eliminate and won't pose an immediate threat. Droncit (praziquantel) is definitely the best choice dosed at 3 to 4 milligrams per pound of body weight. Give a second dose two weeks after the first. Droncit is very safe and extremely effective on tapes.

This happened to a friend of mine. He tried all the perscription medication to no avail. Then he went to a mexican herbal "doctor" or some equivalant. Eat two small meals a day and take 2 shots of tequila morning noon and night. After 30 days he lost a lot of weight but it worked. 
Can you do this for the snake? Of course not, but interesting story eh?
